Abstract

A 45-year-old woman reported automatic behaviors and communication whilst she was being treated with pramipexole. These episodes vanished after the medication was tapered and she was started on levodopa/carbidopa. I hypothesize that the episodes were related to disordered awareness due to sleep disruption related to this medication.
